Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Hahaha... That's not all! I also lured the Big Mom Pirates here! Only by luring them here and killing all the guys who refuse to surrender to me can I attract the attention of the remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates. Then I will leave with Skypiea and establish my own pirate crew! How about it, Hansen? Want to join me?" Teach said to Hansen with a smug look on his face.

"You? You think you can take over Father's position? You're utterly absurd! Now... die! Flying Shadow Slash!" Hansen's swordsmanship displayed the sharpness of the Muramasa demon sword to its fullest extent.

However, Teach is not weak. Although everyone learned from the last incident that he was hiding his strength, his true strength is still unknown.

"Hahaha... Such a sharp sword is a waste in your hands, Captain Hansen!" After dodging Hansen's slash again, Teach punched Hansen in the stomach.

"Cough cough... Damn it, how is this possible..." Hansen clutched his stomach and took a few steps back, crouching down as he looked at Teach. The opponent's strength was beyond his expectations.

"Captain!" At this moment, after all the non-combat personnel had been gathered on the sky island, Koren, who came to inform them that they could take off, witnessed Hansen being attacked by Teach.

"Don't come any closer! I'll handle this guy. Get to the control room and launch the Sky Island!" Hansen stopped Coron from coming to help and said directly.

Koren glanced at Teach, who was grinning broadly, gritted his teeth, and led Olga away first.

"I never expected your strength to have reached this level. No wonder Reina said you couldn't be allowed to live!" Hansen took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

Meanwhile, the defense system of Xuan Yue Island had already begun to attack the Big Mom Pirates, but without a strong figure to restrain them, this attack was somewhat insignificant to the Big Mom Pirates.

"Cartman, let's go! The defense system is completely ineffective against them. The Sky Island hasn't taken off yet; they must be waiting for us. Don't hesitate any longer!" Blake from the second combat squad grabbed Cartman and shouted.

Originally, Camant was prepared to hold on a little longer and buy more time for the Sky Island, but Blake's words made him waver, because according to the timeline, the Sky Island should have already been preparing to take off at this point.

The fact that they haven't taken off yet is very likely because they're waiting for them. If the Sky Island can't take off because of them, then we'll be devastated!

"Quick, don't hesitate, we're the only ones left on Crescent Moon Island!" Blake said when he saw Cartman hesitating.

“Okay, let’s go!” Kamante nodded, abandoned the fortifications here, and ran towards the sky island with the members of the second team.

"Boom boom boom..."

As they approached the sky island, the sound of preparations for takeoff finally came from the island. At this time, the Big Mom Pirates, without the obstruction of cannons, were about to land at the port.

"Clang clang clang..." When Camant and Black boarded the slowly rising sky island, they found Captain Hansen and Teach fighting, and Hansen was actually being suppressed by Teach.

"Teach! What are you doing?" Blake shouted as soon as he saw Teach.

"Zehahaha... Blake, you've finally arrived! Hurry up and help me take care of them, then the Sky Island will be ours!" Teach shouted loudly as soon as he saw Blake.

"What? Blake, you actually..." Camant, who was originally standing next to Blake, immediately jumped back and looked at Blake warily.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Teach, put down your weapon right now! What are you trying to do? Rebel?" Blake glared at Teach and roared angrily.

"Hoo~ Black, I'm so glad you didn't really betray your father! Members of the second team, tell me loudly... who are you? Comrades... or enemies?" Hansen, holding a Muramasa, asked breathlessly.

"Nonsense! Of course, it's a comrade! Captain Hansen, what's going on? Why are you fighting Teach?" The members of the second combat squad, led by Blake, immediately shouted back.

"Teach...hehe...he betrayed the old man, selling his information to the Navy, and he also brought the Big Mom Pirates here!" Hansen said with a light laugh.

"What?" As soon as Hansen said this, everyone looked at Teach in disbelief.

"Zehahaha... That's right, the Whitebeard Pirates are doomed! Everyone, follow me! Let's create a new era! Zehahahaha..." Teach spread his arms and laughed loudly.

"Teach!" Blake roared, glaring fiercely at Teach, and said, "How dare you betray Dad? If it weren't for Dad bringing us all on board, we would all be dead somewhere by now. And you... how dare you betray us? I'll give you a chance now. Lay down your weapons, we'll take the Sky Island to support Dad, and then you can apologize to Dad in person. I believe Dad will forgive you!"

"Forgive me? Hahaha... Aren't you mistaken? Blake! Everything that's happened is Reina's fault! Yes, it's him! I respect Dad too, he's a great man, but... that doesn't mean I'm going to surrender! If it weren't for Reina, I wouldn't have ended up on this path!"

"Didn't he say I'd betray him sooner or later? Then I'll betray him and show him! Let him know that he's the one who caused all of this! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be like this now!" Teach became more and more angry as she spoke, almost pointing her finger at Reina's nose and cursing.

"Why waste so much breath on him? Blake, come with me to take him down and bring him before Dad so he can decide what to do with him!" As soon as Hansen finished speaking, he appeared in front of Teach, wielding Muramasa sword and slashing it directly at Teach.

"when!"

But Teach seemed to have been prepared, using his short sword to block Hansen's Muramasa.

"Since that's the case, Teach... then I'll take you down now!" Seeing this, Blake also drew his weapon and attacked Teach.

With Blake joining the team, Hansen's situation finally improved somewhat.

"Flying Shadow Cross Slash!" While Blake was holding off Teach, Hansen slashed across from the side with a cross slash.

"Ah!!" Although Teach dodged most of the slashes, he was still injured by Muramasa's slashes due to Blake's restraint.

"Teach...you're not leaving today!" Hansen shouted, waving the Muramasa in his hand.

"Hahaha... You can't stop me!" Teach's eyes changed, and his aura suddenly increased as he attacked Hansen directly.

Seeing this, Blake also stepped forward to help.

“Blake…aren’t you my comrade?” Just as Blake approached Teach, Teach suddenly shouted at Blake.

Upon hearing Teach's voice, Blake paused slightly, while Teach's lips curled into a slight smile.

"boom!"

"careful!"

While Blake was stunned, Teach pulled out a pistol from his pocket and fired a shot at Blake. Hansen, who was confronting Teach, noticed Teach's action first.

"Captain Hansen!"

"team leader!"

Blake looked at Hansen lying in front of him. Hansen had just used his body to shield Blake from Teach's sneak attack.

"Damn it! Teach, you're asking for it!" Cartman finally couldn't hold back and rushed forward, followed by the other members of the second combat team.

However, none of them were a match for Teach, and they were quickly defeated by him.

"Teach! I'll kill you!" Blake was filled with rage. Because of his own actions, his companion had been injured, which was something the proud Blake could not accept.

“Blake, that’s just how the world is! Face reality!” Teach dodged Blake’s attack and said with a smile.

But Blake ignored him completely and kept attacking Teach.

"Bang!" Teach punched Blake in the stomach. Without Hansen's help, Blake was no match for Teach.

"Hahahaha... Captain Hansen... Goodbye!" After knocking down Blake, Teach walked to Hansen's side, lifted him up, and then went to the edge of the sky island, intending to throw Hansen off.

"boom!"

Just then, a gunshot rang out.

Chapter 183 The Fierce Battle

Not far from the Whitebeard Pirates' stronghold, Crescent Island, Kaido was leading his Beasts Pirates here, and in front of them was a pirate ship flying a pirate flag.

"Red-haired brat, I'm giving you a chance now. Get out of my way right now, and I can pretend I didn't see you. Otherwise... you're not leaving!" Kaido said to Shanks, who was standing at the bow of the ship.

"Boss, it seems we've been tricked! We've been led here to block Kaido's path!" Yasopp said with a laugh.

They had originally come after a group of small-time pirates who had provoked them, but the pirates disappeared after arriving here, and it turned out that they had deliberately blocked Kaido's path.

"Boss, should we get out of the way?" Raki asked while eating a chicken leg.

“That won’t do. If you just walk away without putting up a fight, where will I put my face?” Shanks said with a smile.

"So, you mean we have to fight a match first?" Ben Beckman asked with a light laugh, holding a long cigarette.

“Of course!” Shanks slowly drew his longsword from his waist and said with a light laugh.

“That white-bearded guy owes us a favor!” Ben Beckman said with a smile, slinging his weapon over his shoulder.

Although they didn't know Kaido's purpose, the only place not far from here was Crescent Moon Island, so Kaido must want to launch an attack on the Whitebeard Pirates.

Thus, the Red-Haired Pirates, who have recently become famous in the New World, and the veteran Beast Pirates engaged in a great battle in the waters not far from Crescent Moon Island.

Unbeknownst to many, a war involving the Whitebeard Pirates, the Marines, the Big Mom Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the Red-Haired Pirates broke out on the very day Sengoku was promoted to Fleet Admiral!

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

During the promotion ceremony in the Warring States period, countless reporters were recording this important day.

"Hey~ Did you guys notice? A lot of the naval officers aren't here!" One of the reporters looked around and whispered to his companion.

“That’s right, it’s strange that Vice Admiral Garp, who is known as a naval hero, is not here either!” The reporter nodded and said.

Soon after the promotion ceremony ended, it was time for reporters to ask questions.

"Sengoku-gen..." The reporter was about to call him Fleet Admiral Sengoku, but upon seeing the Air Fleet Admiral beside him, he quickly changed his words and said, "Sengoku-sama, why did many naval officers not attend your promotion ceremony this time? Was it because they objected?"

Upon hearing the reporter's question, Zhan Guo smiled slightly and said, "That's not the case. They have an even more important task to do!"

"An even more important task?" Sengoku's words sparked a flurry of discussion among the reporters. What task could be more important than the marshal's promotion ceremony?

Sengoku smiled slightly and continued, "We've received information that the Whitebeard Pirates are planning to attack Impel Down, so these absent commanders have already set off to Impel Down to ambush them. If the Whitebeard Pirates really dare to come, then even if we can't wipe them out in one fell swoop, we will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on them!"

"What? They're actually going to war with the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"The Whitebeard Pirates are attacking Impel Down? Why? The Navy doesn't seem to have captured any key members of the Whitebeard Pirates! Why are they attacking Impel Down?"

The reporters below were shocked by Sengoku's words. The Navy had actually clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates without anyone noticing. This was a really big deal!

Moreover, Sengoku's words just now revealed the location of the battle, which was Impel Down, not far from here, so the reporters below were already getting restless.

"Um... I suddenly have a stomachache, so I'll leave this to you. I need to go to the restroom!" One of the reporters reacted the fastest, handing his notebook to his assistant before hurriedly leaving.

Seeing this, the other reporters also began to make excuses to leave.

The Sengoku people and the navy did not stop them, but let the group of reporters leave.

So, within just a few minutes, most of the reporters disappeared from the previously noisy venue, leaving only their former followers.

However, the reporters leaving the venue soon discovered a problem: although they had boats to go out to sea, without the massive Gate of Justice open, they could not get through the whirlpool currents, let alone pass through the Gate of Justice to reach Impel Down.

After figuring out the situation, the reporters used their own methods to contact their newspapers and relay this important news, urging them to send people to Impel Down for on-site reporting.

"Welcome back, everyone. It seems you've all taken care of your personal matters. Shall we continue?" Sengoku asked with a smile as he watched the reporters return to the venue.

"Lord Sengoku, I would like to ask why the Whitebeard Pirates are so persistent in attacking Impel Down? I remember a few years ago, when Shiki the Golden Lion broke out of prison, the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Akame Reyna, was also involved, right?" Sengoku asked, adjusting his glasses as a reporter stood up.

"You should ask Whitebeard that question, not me! As the Marines, our responsibility is simply to eliminate those despicable pirates!" Sengoku shook his head and replied.

The general public has no idea about Reina and Olvia's situation. Even within the Navy, only a limited number of people know about it. It was the World Government's intelligence personnel who first discovered it and then used Garp, who was in the West Blue at the time, to set a trap for Reina.

Therefore, these reporters had no way of knowing why Reina was so determined to attack Impel Down.

Meanwhile, on Reina's side, after freezing a naval warship, Reina did not continue to entangle with Sakazuki. Instead, he flew directly away from the warship and headed towards Impel Down.

"Lieutenant General Sakazuki, what do we do now?!" Onigumo, standing next to Sakazuki, asked expressionlessly.

Sakazuki glanced at the two warships, which were still intact, and immediately ordered, "Continue the pursuit!"

So the two warships continued to chase after the direction Reina had left in, while the slowly sinking, frozen warship and the frozen naval soldiers on it were simply abandoned by them.
